$2 Million Non-Profit UPH Back in Action 2022 SCHEDULE Covid Relief Fund by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY BALLSTON SPA — The county Board of Supervisors this week launched a $2 million grant fund for non-profit organizations in Saratoga County negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had set aside the $2 million last year for a grant program for not-for-profit organizations, so this establishes the program, sets up the rules for what organizations can apply, who can be eligible for a grant, and also
the framework of how much they can ask for,” said Saratoga Springs Supervisor Matt Veitch. The program is preparing to roll out and will presumably include specific instructions and an application on the county website. The county site may be accessed at: saratogacountyny.gov. “It is tied to COVID relief, so organizations will need to prove some hardship – lost revenue, loss of funds due to COVID,” Veitch said.
